Offshore Energy Insurance - What is so special?
What are the main differences between marine and energy insurance?
4
• Drilling into unknown underground conditions (Wildcats)o High pressureso Uncertainty when pressured zones are reached
• High Risk Operations – release of hydrocarbons
• Resourceful Assureds
• Insured objects are stationary whilst operating
• Tailor made items and parts with long lead time
• High values and significant retention/deductible levels
• ”Tailor made” insurance policies – manuscript wordings
• Low frequency but large and complex losses
• Limited case law and market practice
Contents• Who needs it and why?• What triggers cover?• Main considerations for pricing• How are losses calculated?• Important practical claims handling considerations
Who needs it and why
Who needs it and why
Two categories of clients:•Oil Company: Can be either an operator or a co-venturer.
o An operator owns a license from the state to develop a field and extract the oil and/or gas. A co-venturerer pays a share of the expenses, but also receive a share of the revenue
•Contractoro Chartered in by the operator for a specific tasko Most Mobile Offshore Units (MOUs) are owned by various contractors. MOUs include:
Drilling rigs, accomodation units, and FPSOs.
The nature of the risks and structure of insurances for an oil company and a contractor differs – Still placed in the same insurance markets

extracting/production)
o Midstream activities (transport from offshore field to marine terminal/ refinery/petrochemical plant/gas processing & transmission)
• Refining & Marketing (Onshore)o Downstream activities (refining, petrochemical, processing,
marketing & distribution)

• Uncontrolledo When the well is flowing above ground/water and the flow cannot
be stopped by BOP / increasing mud pressure / diversion into production
• Covero For materials and services of specialists necessary to get control of
the well
• Exclusion: No cover for loss in production capacity, loss of reservoir
Relief Well plan

Well Redrill / Well Restoration
53
• Additional cover to Well Control Costs
• Well out of control triggers insurance cover
• Insurance covers replacement to the same depth as the original well and to the same reservoir.

Risk Allocation in Offshore fields

• Starting point: Operator is responsible for the field on behalf of all JV licensees.
• Contractual allocation of liability with contractors and sub-contractors
• «Knock – for – Knock» is the ideal
